Afghanistan

I have to admit, my first thought in the morning is not the well-being of the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. It’s profound that they’re in Afghanistan, risking their precious lives for the sake of the country and its people. The families of these soldiers are undoubtedly worried sick of their loved ones in a foreign country. I believe that the soldiers are fighting for a positive cause. The cruel mistake made by Osama Bin Laden should not be taken out on the people of Afghanistan. Their safety is important to Canadians. It must take a big heart for one to go down there and save others lives, while yours is more at risk. These soldiers are targets. Nich, from the two letters, is a very brave person. She has a lot of self confidence and doesn’t believe in giving up. While driving through the towns of Afghanistan, she would see children full of hate who swore many times at her crew, but this didn’t bring down her confidence. Some would smile and wave. Optimism is a very powerful characteristic of hers. Shooting guns or goofing around is not what she’s in Afghanistan for. Serving her main purpose is very important to her, and that is to save the lives of those innocent ones. Nich was very proud to be in Afghanistan helping those in need. Unfortunately she got killed in a shooting. Her care and loyalty is well missed.
